K-256 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. The highway runs 4.989 miles (8.029 km) from U.S. Route 56 (US-56) west of Marion to US-77 east of Marion in central Marion County. K-256 directly serves the city of Marion, the county seat of Marion County. The highway was established in 1985.
K-256 begins at US-56 between Hillsboro and the US-56–US-77–K-150 roundabout east of Marion. The highway heads south and crosses the Cottonwood River. At the next junction of section line roads, K-256 turns east and crosses the river again at the west city limit of Marion. The highway continues along Main Street and enters the downtown area after its grade crossing of a Union Pacific Railroad line. K-256 passes to the south of the historic Bown-Corby School and Elgin School and north of the Marion County Courthouse. The route crosses Mud Creek and passes the historic Hill Grade School. K-256 passes through an S-curve at Cedar Street then heads straight east out of town. The highway passes to the north of Marion Municipal Airport and the Civilian Conservation Corps–constructed Marion County Lake before reaching its eastern terminus at US-77 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the US-56–US-77–K-150 junction between Florence and Lincolnville.
